Privacy Policy — AEO Checker

Last updated: 2026-04-30

AEO Checker is a Chrome extension that analyzes the active tab's HTML to evaluate optimization signals for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and similar). This page describes what data the extension processes and how.

What we do not collect

The extension does not collect, transmit, store, sell, or share any personally identifiable information, browsing history, page content, URLs you visit, or analytics events. There is no remote server, no account system, and no third-party tracking embedded in the extension.

What happens when you scan a page

When you click the AEO Checker icon, the extension reads the active tab's HTML and headers entirely within your browser to compute the AEO Score. It also performs same-origin requests to the page's /robots.txt and /llms.txt files for the same purpose. All processing happens locally; the results are displayed in the popup and discarded when the popup closes.

Outbound links

“Read more” buttons in the popup link to articles on alexturik.com. These links include UTM parameters so the website's analytics can attribute traffic to this extension. No personal data is transmitted — only standard campaign tags. The destination site's own privacy policy applies once you click through.

Permissions used

• activeTab — to read the DOM of the tab you explicitly invoke the extension on, on user gesture only.
• scripting — to inject the analysis function into that tab when you open the popup.
